Biden signs $40B Ukraine aid bill

[North of Death]

The U.S. will send an additional $40 billion in support to Ukraine after President Joe Biden signed a bill while traveling in Asia. The money is intended to get Ukraine through September as the Russian invasion approaches its fourth month.

Congress cleared the legislation with bipartisan support earlier in the week to avoid a gap in funding, after the final drawdown of $100 million in previously approved funding occurred Thursday.

The package includes more than $20 billion for the Pentagon to provide weapons, intelligence and training, and nearly $14 billion for the State Department for food aid, refugee assistance and other diplomatic programs.

when you install a puppet government - you gotta support them to make sure they remain in power.

no different than the "aid money" that goes to black countries.

gotta make sure your investment is protected and maintained.

boss shyt.

I could see that cause basically they're funding the Ukrainian military industrial complex so that they can in turn fund the American military industrial complex


But keep in mind they're not giving this money to Ukraine for their health. The US really wants Russia out the paint right now.

This is both eliminating a geopolitical rival AND payback for Putin meddling in our elections.

Plus the US can work Russia over without ever putting one US troop on the ground. They love this and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity so of course they're taking it.
